Urban population and mechanized living are growing fast. This matter has led to several issues such as destruction of natural and green areas, traffic and air pollution. To reduce some of the problems, returning people to cities and distributing population in towns and cities are very important. Many of the urban living issues can be resolved by considering the concept of neighborhood. Today, many changes have occurred in all levels of contemporary urban living in the structural, social and economic layers. This has caused complication of the problem and necessitated a deeper attention. One of the main problems of the current city of Kerman is the depreciation of the old texture which shows the necessity of this study. Masjed Malek Zone located in Kerman, Iran is one of the oldest zones in Kerman where most residences of this zone left there over time and now immigrants who have no financial capability are living there. The ruined buildings have increased and the quality of buildings has increasingly decreased. This paper explores the reasons for such damages incurred in historical and valuable texture of Masjed Malek zone. In the process of study, we have performed several interviews and completed questionnaires as well as qualitative researching methods. This research presents series of comprehensive information about old texture of Kerman city and explores the strengths of the valuable texture of Masjed Malek zone. In addition, according to the surveys and obtained data from different organizations, the article studies problems of the old texture. Considering the achievements of this research, it is obvious that the attention to this place has decreased and most residences of this zone left there over time. To prevent this happening, managers should think about different ways to improve the economic and social power of the zone. Today, the needs of local people are quite different compared with those of old residents. The circumstances should be considered to meet the needs of the neighborhood and the zone. Thus, to prevent the imbalanced urban development and renew the old texture, it is important to increase its performance besides maintaining the architectural and historical values by studying the past methods and models, promoting the strengths, removing their weaknesses, and providing it with a proper model.
